This is a tidy and conservative little baby jacket that brought me back to my childhood in the 1950’s. It uses 2 colors of sport weight yarn plus white for the collar and cuffs. The white cuffs are split and mimic the appearance of the white collar. Lovely mother of pearl buttons finish off the look. I can picture it being worn over a little dress with black patent leather mary janes and white socks with a frilly lace edge.

I used MllaMia Naturally Soft Merino.

Size 9 months used 2 balls MC, 1 ball CC and 1/2 ball white.

All other sizes used 3 balls MC, 1 or 2 balls CC and 1/2 ball white.

Needles:
Size 1 for collar and cuffs
Size 2 for 9 months, 12-18 months
Size 3 for 12 months, 18-24 months
Size 2 or 3 for 2T

(Gauge is not specified in the pattern instructions but can be deduced from these Pattern Notes:

As a rule of thumb, with this yarn and size 2 or 3 needles, one set of raglan increases (8 sts increased) works out to about 3/4 inch of additional finished chest circumference, which is just under 1 baby/toddler size.

therefore: 42.5 stitches in Stockinette Stitch = 4” on US 2 or 3 needles.)
